Assessing AVAX’s position after its strong comeback on 13 July

ambcrypto.com:

Avalanche’s native cryptocurrency AVAX achieved a strong mid-week bounce, suggesting that the altcoin is attracting a lot of attention at its current prices. The token rallied by more than 12% on 12 July, a prompt recovery after its bearish performance from 10 July to 12 July.

Zooming out on AVAX’s price reveals that its latest uptick occurred after retesting its June support levels. This outcome aligns with AVAX’s ranging price action ever since it broke out of its wedge pattern. If this performance persists for the next few weeks, then a slight upside can be expected before the resistance kicks in.

AVAX bottomed out at $16.37 on 13 July before the bulls regained control. The token traded at $18.18 at press time after encountering some resistance due to sell pressure near the 50% Relative Strength Index (RSI) level. AVAX’s Money Flow Index (MFI) revealed that the cryptocurrency enjoyed healthy accumulation since 12 July.

AVAX also has a lot going for it on the on-chain side of things. For example, its supply held by whales registered a significant uptick from its monthly low of 43.57% on 12 July to 43.88% on 13 July.

This was a sign of strong accumulation and it was backed by an uptick in the social dominance metric. This aligns with the latest price rise.

This whale movement can also be considered as a sign that whales are looking for small profit margins considering the narrow range at which AVAX has been trading in the last two to three weeks. The outcome is also a sign that investors are still moving cautiously due to the
